    SWR delay repay

    Thought I’d post here before attempting SWR’s phone line. Has anyone been able to claim delay repay since the move from card to the larger barcode paper tickets? If I put paper ticket as the option it won’t accept the 11 letter ticket “number” wants 5 or 8 as per the old tickets. If I try it...

    GWR Advances Fareham-BristolTM

    Sorry if this is a bit of a silly question. This is a journey I used to do quite regularly but not since lockdown. Always used to have no problems picking up a cheap advance but checked for journeys next month and January and none available. Is this now a permanent thing on this route or as a...

    Portsmouth Harbour - Waterloo Diagrams

    Could someone post or link to the current allocations on the direct and via Basingstoke services. It’s been awhile since I’ve done any travelling to town but was surprised to catch a 450 on the 1127 from Fareham last Wednesday. I’ve got some travel coming up mostly at weekends and want to...

    Portsmouth Harbour - Waterloo Tomorrow AM

    Big apologies if this info is elsewhere. Don't normally travel from Pmth to town. Could someone let me know whether 444/450 is diagrammed for the SWR 0900 and 0916 tommorrow am. As I'm travelling with the (disabled) other half I'd pay the premium and go with SWR to get the extra space and...

    Is a passenger obliged to cross a busy road twice to use a permit to travel machine?

    Here's a quick question based on a one-off journey I'm likely to make in a couple of weeks. Station is unmanned no ticket machines. There may be a PERTIS on the opposite platform, however no access between the platforms within the station. Access between the platforms is by a busyish...

    Portsmouth - Waterloo stock allocations?

    I've had a quick search and couldn't find this - I know it has been posted in the past - but could someone post what stock allocations (444/450) are currently used on the Portsmouth - Waterloo services both direct and via Basingstoke. I'm particularly interested in Saturday's. Very many...

    Fareham - Clapham Junction

    Got to make this journey every other week for a few months. Midweek afternoon up, return late same evening. Have Network card so the "standard" fare would be a Super Off Peak Day Return at £20.40. I'd want to do both ways on SWT for convenience. Have a feeling I've read something...

    Fareham-Thatcham-London-Fareham

    Another bit of a query I'd like to put up to the forums expertise if I may. I've got to go up to Thatcham from Fareham on business in a couple of weeks (on a Thursday). Work will provide me with an Anytime Day Return. That evening I've got a do on up in London so I'd want to go straight...

    Fareham - Newport (S Wales)

    A quick query. Tomorrow I've got to do the above journey for work, and its likely to be a regular thing in the future. Out of interest I had a look through the routing guide and from what I can see there are several permitted routes for this journey, beside the direct one, It looks like I...

    2305 Waterloo - Eastleigh

    Could someone tell me what stock the 2305 out of Waterloo - Eastleigh (onto Poole) is normally formed of, or does it vary? Many thanks in advance.

    Fareham to London - route query

    A question for the forum - that I can't quite work out the answer to. Often I travel from Fareham to London midweek, needing to get to Notting Hill for 12. I have a Network Card and as its a leisure trip I need to do it as cheaply as possible. In an ideal world I'd get the 0928 from...

    Curviest Platform

    Apologies if this has been done before and for the banality of the question. But coming back from Bristol Temple Meads this evening, first time in 10+ years, it struck me just how curved (and long) the platform (where Napoleans Bar is). Admittedly I'd had a couple, but looking both ways it...

    Fareham to London - Weekday

    Hi, long time lurker, first time poster. Please excuse me if I kick off with a bit of a puerile one, and also if the figures i give are slightly wrong as I'm doing it from memory. :D About every other month a couple of us need to go from Fareham to Notting Hill Gate tube to arrive by 12...
